After the overture, merry War;"
sang by the entire company, came
eight songs and Hawaiian chorus.
A marked and pleasing feature of
every song was its chorus, in which
the whole company joined. "Huckle-
berry Picnic" by II. Won Holt, and
"Cricket on the HEARTH" by j. NJ.
Dowsett, were acceptably rendered.
II. M. Morse sang 1.-THE Deep Blue
Sea-" very sweetly, but declined TO
repeat. "Every Day I'll be Sun
day." by +. +. Bishop; "McCar-
thy's Fancy Ball." by w. II.
Hoogs and "Mary's Gone With
Coon" by w. G.. Armstrong, were
all encored. Mr.. Armstrong was
inexpressibly funny. "My Pretty
Red Rose," the solo part sang by
j. M. Bright, had to be twice re-
peated. This young gentleman has
u delightfully."- sweet voice, which
apparently charmed the audience.
But "The Virginia Rosebud" the
second song on the programme, c.
Denaveaux singing the solo and the
company all mingling voices in the
chorus, was probably the gem of
the evening, and had, of course, to
be repeated. Five Hawaiians sang
a Hawaiian chorus, with guitar ac-
compartment, so sweetly and pref
tily, that the audience would not be
satisfied until they returned to the
stage and sang second chorus.
AS stated before, every song had a
chorus, and the harmonious blend
ing of voices produced exception
ally good music, which was really
charming TO persons with souls to
appreciate.
The finale to the first part of the
programme was squad of about q
half dozen oddly dressed soldiers
under the command of Captain w.
G.. Armstrong, supposed to repre-
sent ''The Regular Army" The
get-up alone was worth consider
able, and the various maneuvers
were intensely amusing. The Cap
tain put his men through their fac
ings in magnificent style, and the
men obeyed orders so higgledy-pig-
gledy that a barrel could scarcely
refrain from laughing. Mr.. Morse
presented an extremely laughable
specimen of q brave soldier, both in
dress and movements.
| A banjo solo, by j. Appleby,
opened the second part of the enter
tainment. The lingering of the in
strument and the notes produced,
elected applause which grew into an
encore. This was followed by q
farce in which II. Won Holt, +. f.
Bishop and w. II. Hoogs played
the various characters very credit
ably. A clog dance, by l.. G. Gus
man, preceded the closing piece,
which was a local sketch, in two
acts, entitled "Chun Hook" The
first act represented "the reign Of
terror" which all remember as the
| result of Chun Hooks escape from
the prison gang, while at work in
/ Nuuhhu N"hcy, oho eHo ocCohu dc'
"the pursuit and capture" of the
escaped convict. This farce was
especially appreciated because of its
local habitation. The farce was
considerable of a farce, and we'll
played throughout, but not mucl
: more of farce than the recent his
tory which it was intended to bur.
lesque. The audience, which wa:
large, Notwithstanding rainy weather
and muddy streets, withdrew on the
fall of the curtain, all smiles ant
| delight, feeling that they had hat
! what was promised-an evenings
fun and amusement, well-worth tn,
admission fee charged.
1t should be added that an eff
| cicnt orchestra, directed by Mr.. H
, Berger, contributed in no small
Z degree to the success of the enter
| tainmant
